Microsoft has introduced its latest technology called Clearflow which allows people to see traffic updates and other important information regarding directions. This innovation is seen as a solution for avoiding traffic congestion and accidents.
To see traffic updates, users can simply go to the Live.com. This site displays current traffic reports which have been used by many Global Positioning System (GPS) due to its reliable information. With this new technology, people can avoid traffic congestion by taking an alternative route since it provides accurate traffic details which can be seen with a precise mapping location.
The Microsoft Clearflow technology has been developed by the company’s Research Laboratories for five years and was designed by a group of computer experts who specialize on artificial-intelligent software. With this innovation, the company aims to provide a solution for traffic congestions and other road problems.
Using complex algorithms, this technology provides wide coverage of different locations in US. This can also support other traffic reporting functions from Yahoo, Google, and MapQuest which can also be integrated to the driving locations provided by Microsoft.
This highly-intricate mapping system technology provides accurate road details which include even the narrow alleys to wide roads and highways. This technology combines the city’s mapping details and the artificial intelligence software.
But with all the advantages Clearflow provide, this technology also harbors a setback. In some cases, traffic reports can change abruptly, and before a person receives his/her request for an alternative route in the computer, the entire traffic pattern could shift differently. The solution for this problem may be solved if the Microsoft would let this technology be accessible to mobile devices such as cell phones and blackberries. If the company will provide a mobile version of this technology service, more people will benefit from this.
Clearflow technology is a free service and is now made accessible in 72 cities in US. The company is aiming to further improve this technology by making it available to the general public and by covering wider areas.
